34. I think certain types of torture are acceptable...
I never really read up much about Gonzales's memo, so I dont know what he said was alright.

But I dont see much wrong with certain "pyschological" torture like sleep deprivation, hunger, and stuff like that on people that are being interrogated.

Stuff like breaking fingernails, the bamboo stick things, or cutting off someone's balls, yeah those shouldnt be legal.

Not that I couldnt see that such torture would have its merits, if someone killed a loved one of mine I would probably like to inflict such torture on said person, however I wouldnt fool myself into thinking its legal.
